The Love Between Us

The on going

"Marci wait !" Andrew called out to me as I turned to go upstairs to my room.

I didn't stop i kept walking I tried to not let them see me cry. As i softly wiped away my eyes.

"Marcella get back here now!" My mother yelled after me. I closed my door and locked it. I slide down and wrapped my arms around my legs and cried.

No one came up after me. They all stayed downstairs. I cried for hours. I thought about what I should do. Take the s.a.ts when the weekend was up and test out of school. I know my dads little brother lived around here. Get a job and start looking for a place to live.

I couldnt believe my mother or even Andrew. How could they think like that. Andrew for saying it was a mistake, and my mother wanting me to give it up. I get im only sixteen but i have a perfect 4.0 gpa. Ive been taking senior classes as a sophomore. I stood up and started looking for jobs right away.

I don't know when i fell asleep, I woke up to a soft knock at my door. I growled as I wiggled my self out of bed and lazily walked towards the door.

"Marci please open the door." I heard his voice calling me softly. I stopped in my tracks as i went to think about it.

"Go away Andrew..." I spoke softly placing my hand on the door.

"Please Marci let me explain.." He mumbled.

I sighed unlocking my door and opening it to see a red eyed puffy Andrew. I moved to the side and let him come in.

"Look... I'm not smart like you Marci...  You could just take the S.A.Ts like you said and graduate. I don't have a perfect gpa... My only hope to get into college is my football scholarship. That's my only shot. A baby Marci isnt going to be good for either of us. You wont be able to go to college and afford a baby on your own. Cause you know your mom wont help pay for school or help with the baby. And I'll still be in highschool for the next two years. Theres no one that can or will help. What do you plan on doing? This baby is going to fuck up both our lives..." He spoke pacing back and forth. Waving his arms about as he talked.

"Andrew listen to me. I dont need anyone who doesnt support my choice. Your asking me to give up a child Andrew. A child we concieved because we had sex. This baby didnt ask to be alive but it is. Our baby has a heartbeat and a brain how could you want to give that away. If you don't want to be apart of our childs life fine that's up to you. Follow your dreams. I'll figure out what I will do without anyones help." I spoke harshly and straight to the point. His eyes flickered to mine.

"Marci..." He began as he started to rub the back of his neck.

"No Andrew. This is my decision. Im choosing to have this baby and raise it. I laid down and helped make it, im going to do the right thing." I said as to end the discussion.

He glared at me before walking to my door, "Then good luck to you" he spat and closed my door.

I slumped on my bed and cried. And cried myself to sleep. The next morning I just opened my eyes to stare up at the ceiling.
